Crops are everywhere this season (especially concerts and festivals), and they’ve come a long way since their first heyday in the 80’s. While this belly-baring look may not be for everyone, a crop top isn’t as tricky to rock as it may seem. Layer it up by throwing on a blazer to add a touch of sophistication, or make a style statement by wearing one with a high-waisted skirt. If you’ve got it, flaunt it. The most important thing: Wear what makes you comfortable.

Cargo pants are synonymous with cool, casual style – and recently, they’ve been experiencing a revival. While big, saggy cargos are a thing of the past, the new cargo is a pared-down, more modern version of its predecessor. Keep the look relaxed with a basic tee and chambray shirt. Style tip: Don’t jam the pockets full of stuff. Keep the cleaner, slimmer look to these pants by leaving your gear at home.
